Motorcycle Accident FAQs
How long do I have to file a motorcycle accident claim?
Like any auto accident, motorcycle accident victims typically have three years to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to the current Wisconsin statute of limitations. However, if death occurs, the statute of limitations to file a wrongful death lawsuit is two years.
Who is liable for a motorcycle collision?
In most states, like Wisconsin, the person deemed “at fault” is responsible for any motorcycle accident-related costs, like medical care, lost wages and pain and suffering. This is where our team of experienced personal injury attorneys who are well-versed in motorcycle accidents and injuries will be beneficial.
What if I am involved in a motorcycle accident in a no-fault state and the other driver is at fault?
When involved in a motorcycle accident in a no-fault state, like Michigan or Minnesota, your own insurance company will pay for any medical bills and accident-related expenses up to your coverage limit. Any additional expenses may be covered by the other driver’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. Contact Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs for a free case evaluation.
